It's a one-of-a-kind case, so interesting for that reason. It feels like any judgement was doomed to feel unsatisfactory from one perspective. For instance, I can't see that there was mens rea (or criminal intent) there. At the same time, you can't easily leave a deliberate killing unpunished.

That response tangles things up even more. But you are right that it has made it moving. What an extraordinary person the brother is.

The brother of the victim asked the judge if he could hug her, she allowed it, they hugged for nearly 40 seconds.

I was in tears, he showed so much grace & compassion.
